We're dividing 661243 by 38 
We want to divide 661243 by 38.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 38

Moving on to step 2:
66 divided by 38 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 38 from 66 to get 28.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 38

Advancing to step 3:
281 divided by 38 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 266 from 281.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 152 / 38

Advancing to step 4:
The number 38 fits into 152 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we take 152 away from 152, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 38

On to step 5:
4 divided by 38 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1740.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 38

Moving on to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 43 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17401.0
If we take 38 away from 43, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
38 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17401.1
Subtract 38 from 50 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 38, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17401.13
Subtracting 114 from 120 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
38 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17401.131
If we subtract 38 from 60, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 38, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17401.1315
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 190 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
38 goes into 300 7 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17401.13157
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 266 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
38 goes into 340 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17401.131578
Deduct 304 from 340 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 38, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17401.1315789
Subtracting 342 from 360 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
180 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17401.13157894
Deduct 152 from 180 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17401.13157894 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
